WHO IS BLES-SED?

Listening Room

If you've never been fortunate enough to attend a Bles-sed event — which would be strange since she's been a pre-eminent R&B, hip hop, funk /soul DJ in Vancouver since 2002 — you're in for quite the revelation.

A clubgoer and self-taught hip-hop dancer/choreographer (SVS) since she could first sneak into bars, Bles-sed made the switch from in front of the decks to behind them because she was enamoured with the art of spinning and loved collecting vinyl. Her unparalleled knowledge of classic tracks made her a natural for parties where one could reminisce about the good ol' times even while forging good new ones.

An unquestioned authority on all things old school, Bles-sed has opened up incorporating an impressive range of different musical genres into her already divine flow. So in addition to classic R&B, hip hop, funk & soul, expect boogie, disco, classic electro/freestyle, house, dancehall and everything 80's and 90's thrown into the cut as Bles-sed builds the vibe to one of heavenly heights.

Having shared the stage with notable artists such as Estelle,Ivana Santilli,Raphael Saadiq,Chin Injeti,Maseo (De La Soul), Love & Electrik,Team Canada DJs and currently the resident DJ for The Hastings Set, Bles-sed is very thankful for all the support she's had over the years and now fully locked into pursuing her art form one night at time: picking the right songs, putting them in the right order at the right time of the night, for the right crowd. When all those things come together, it can truly be considered a night of divine intervention.
